This one was IP67, so splashproof but not submersible. The plate is watertight to the hull when installed correctly. This part is actually still a couple months from release because we have changed the light whip spec. This one draws about 10 amps, so it's hell on batteries.

These clasps have a manual release on them, so it won't fall off going down the road on a trailer if clasped properly, but I would highly recommend that you don't trailer your kayak with the motor on it. You'll end up cracking the hull or warping it badly over time. The abuse your kayak takes on a trailer with 35#'s of motor hanging over the bow going down the road is no good. It will eventually cause a hull failure. Very short trips like hole hopping from one launch to another is fine, but I wouldn't drive any longer distances with the motor attached.

We breaded and fried it, but there's a bunch of ways to do it. The meat actually has a nice texture and is rather mild, but cleaning the drum is an adventure. Lots of pin bones.

Sorry about that. We intended to have these up for sale by last week, but a snafu in our system has us fixing a few issues. Hopefully tomorrow or Thursday and we'll drop these.

@@KetchOutdoors sorry, I'll walk myself out...

Thanks for the love. Cheers!

You'll want to use a quick release system with a motor on a kayak, and yes... This mount is compatible with our kwik-release and the Minn Kota and Motor Guie variants that work with that motor. Happy rigging!!

Yes. We will have a whole product line for the XTR.

No issues so far, and we are intentionally really hard on our grills, so this traveler and the slate that we are testing right now have been not just used, but abused. We grill 2-4 times a week here at the shop and we're coming up on one year with this traveler and have an upcoming video about how it's held up. Spoiler Alert: Works just as well as the day we got it and shows no signs of wear from what we've thrown at it. I still think the Q cooks a little better, but the portability of this unit is awesome, and it's definitely a solid buy if you take your grilling on the road.

@@KetchOutdoors Great to hear! I just got mine, and I am ready to tailgate with some burgers and make some pizza on it! Appreciate the video!

@@jennflippo3874 Cheers!

Thanks for watching and glad you enjoyed it!

We have a list of the major components on the build, but not every last nut and bolt. A lot of the electrical components we use aren't really commercially available to consumers, so a list doesn't really do much good. We will be kitting up all the necessary components for builds like this in the near future and they'll be available through our new business OPS.

We don't have any OT's in the shop at the moment, but we can do that next time one comes through for some rigging. I wouldn't recomend a 10# ball on a kayak. 6# is plenty.

@@KetchOutdoors thanks. Purchased a set yesterday! :)

@@paulojimenez1437 Cheers!

At this point we should already have something that works. Send us the measurements and I can double check on a Shoalie. I think it's probably going to be the 26" model. If you scroll through the pictures on the website a couple of them are sizing charts that will show you what distance the krossbar can cover. The shoalie looks to be around 25" between the tracks. ketchproducts.com/product/26-inch-x-aktrak-hd-krossbar/#

@@KetchOutdoors Thank you. I will confirm the measurements and get it ordered. Thanks for the reply. Awesome products!!

@@alan-y4n No problems. If you run into any issues just holler!

The angler who's boat this is has had no issues, if you are tall enough to use the longest setting for your pedal drive arms, and make really full strokes you might be able to hit it, but for most people it is not a problem. If you are that tall adjusting how the graph(s) are mounted could also give you the clearance you'd need while still using the Krossbar.

Yeah, but if you've been cooking on these things for decades then you know to season regardless... Old habits die hard, and we can all use an excuse for more bacon! The first thing that hits any new grill is always bacon or pork bellies... Learn it!

Shooting smash burgers and Italian combos next week!

We'll look into that. The standard risers won't work with the Hobie PA because the plates are at an angle... it makes it difficult. Maybe a longer adapter in the future?

@@KetchOutdoors That would be perfect.

Thanks for getting it. This was our series concept that we were shopping around. Wanted to tell a story, and as long as it hits home with a couple people, I think we did OK. Thanks for watching!

Not too long at all. We typically drain the grease tray right after grilling, and by the time we've thrown leftovers in tupperware and cleaned up it's cool to the touch. I'll get back to you with a more scientific answer... Just hadn't thought to time it. Thanks for watching!!

About 15-20 minutes.

Used it yesterday at Lake Erie/West Harbor tournament. I was on the water from 5:30am to 3:00 pm. This mount is rock solid. Top speed was 4.9mph according to fish finder gps. I was very pleased with it and highly recommend it.

Stormy you don't need anything this long... Might I suggest our 16" board. lol

The Norfork River previously held the world record before the record was broken by the guy at the Little Red River.

Cheers!

We've got a bow motor mount for the Unlimited coming, as well as flush mount rod tube deletes, and some other goodies.

Cheers!! Gracie has fallen into the shop dog role nicely, and any reason for bacon is a good reason to bacon.

there is never a wrong time to bacon (except right before your heart cath). I got the rotisserie too, and am going to use it for pizza oven!

There's a ton of different sizes and styles, but those are adhesive zip tie mounts. You can probably get them on amazon.

All in it’s less than 100 pounds, and it’s all distributed the right way.

This was a kit we bought online.

@@KetchOutdoors I probably can look it up, but where are you guys located??

@@bbowen4629 we're in East Dundee, IL presently. Looking for a new location for the manufacturing plant and the outfitting shop in southern Wisconsin.

It does not, those rod tube deletes are only for people who are not using the tubes and want to seal that common source of leaking off, or want to install the plate to use as a point to install a plug or switches on the plate for example. But it does not interfere with the Krossbar installation. The adapter kit is only compatible with our Jake Plates though and not the original plastic plates. You can DIY and drill to fit in the original plastic plates, but it's a drop in fit with the Jake Plates.

Not terrible, but not amazing either. We've had a couple people switch over to a balloon tire, but unfortunately it's not an option we're making available from the factory.

Probably not enough to notice. You can always omit the spacers and mount direct to the track.

No one's forcing you to watch or contemplate words or ideas you're uncomfortable with, but thanks for watching I guess...

Your comment was what I would call over-writing with all of your “wordy-ness” nonsense. There is a simple solution to your problem. Don’t watch their videos. Move on.

Yes that is correct, the hole pattern is not one that is on any other mounts

No loctite necesary.

You can always cut down a 32" board. We can't make every length that folks want. It becomes an inventory nightmare.

Interesting, how would you suggest that I cut my 32" board down, I don't want to ruin it. @@KetchOutdoors

@@rickyjuelg414 The easiest way without using machinery would be with a hacksaw in a miter box. If you have access to a chop saw that would probably be the easiest way to do it. A horizontals band saw would also work. Aluminum is a pretty soft metal, so there's lot's of options. Just check with your tournament director and make sure it's OK. Most will allow you to shorten a board, but everyone's rules are different.

I don't know who let that hippie in our shop, but he drank all the beer and made a mess!

Thanks for the understanding. I did see a lot of this as we were working on the video. The writer and primary angler we followed had only ever had great lakes trout and salmon fishing experience, and that's primarily a meat fishery. They actually all got really good by the end of the trip, but we only had good weather on the very first day, so most of the footage is from the start of the trip. Caught 10" of rain followed by a blizzard. We still fished, but the footage was not really usable. We did fish barbless the whole time, and by the last day they were all wetting their hands and handling the fish like pros. We'll actually be headed back down to Arkansas again this spring. Gonna chase some walleye and smallies... such a beautiful state to fish!

@@KetchOutdoors Wow, what a tough trip, but glad to hear you're coming back!! I'm in south Louisiana and will fish the White three to four times each year and it's become my favorite spot. Travel safe and keep putting out great content!!
